valley brown -- valerie brown says she thinks there is a place for both businesses. >> i have as much advocacy for the airport as the fly fishing establishment. i think we need all of the businesses we can have in sonoma county. >> and she points out the airport has a fire suppression pond on the property. >> there is water all the way around. it was not a problem in the past. i certainly wouldn't want to discount the fact it could be. >> that position angers don smith. he sits on the land use commission. they advise the board of supervisors. >> there is no question we found it incompatible. >> his number one concern is that the additional pond will bring more birds and increase the chance of an accident. that's what happened to greg bear as he was about to liftoff in february, a large goose smacked his plane. >> it made a huge, huge thud. there is no mistaking that i hit something. it definitely opened my eyes to how bad it could be. >> this is what scares me. is it going to take somebody to get killed before we react to this. >> but the debate doesn't end at the county level. there
